Time takes, life breaks Wounded and old we go on Living with our burdens While sharing parts of our soul So many corners turned So many tests were failed Words were tears to share Tomorrows were the dread Age, the forgiving knight Stronger and shielded Mind, forgetful of past Acceptance, the last road home Heartbreak, the unknowing Daily struggle, trip and fall Bandage the cut Learning yet again One life, hard yet fulfilling Many tears and many smiles A couple of friends Miles left behind and many to go |

Well written, Rick. I guess we we have to slow down and reflect on what we've learned in this lifetime. Ida |

Hi Ida, nice to have you visit here my friend, so much we do learn and yet forget, slowing down is our natural thing as we get older, reflecting then teaches again and renews satisfaction I think. I hope you have a wonderful day ahead, again thank you. Rick |

One life, hard yet fulfilling Many tears and many smiles A couple of friends Miles left behind and many to go This sounds perfect to me, dear Rick. Good job you did. Love, Margherita |
